Forgive me, but along the axis of the pipe means hit parallel to the pipe? Or perpendicular to the pipe?
Got a build thread?
Will I have any risk of dimpling the pipe if I hit too hard?
I’ll have to give it a go. Sucks that its 20 bucks…
BTW, love the MG.
The gaskets in between the resonator pipe and the catalytic converter.
Should be #25Seems like it might be just a standard crush gasket…I remember the gasket between the muffler and center resonator pipe was this. This was literally welded to the pipe.
I hear that its pretty common for the OE MC to go out. That’s why I was wondering some recommendations. It seems like I should still go with OE though?
So, here’s an update.
After about a month or two of driving, the car started every time. Really no issues to report. There were days when it was below freezing and it started right up. So we shall see what it does throughout the summer/winter next year.
Which 3.0 did they put in an escape?
Problem is that the pump, along with all the wiring is on top of the tank. No real way to get there other than dropping the tank anyways.
So I want to give an update over the last week. The car has probably been started almost once every day for the last week. The car started every time. I took the car up to WOT a few times just to see if I experienced any abnormalities. Engine sounded fine. Pulled fine as well. Didn’t notice anything out of the norm.
I just fear taking this car out and it getting stuck somewhere inconvenient like a stop light haha…
What are your thoughts?
I also have not gotten a Fuel Pressure gauge yet. Still working on getting time to get that done. I’ve also thought about the potential of a bad ground. Any thoughts on that as well?
Alright, I’ll have to take a look. Took it out for a drive today, definitely under 32 degrees. Car started and ran extremely well. I’ll have to look at the fuel pressure to see if that is causing any issues. I’ll take a look at the site you linked me to and the videos.
I’ll have to get the car up on jacks to see how the wiring looks.
I have not but I’ll definitely have to do that. However, I feel like I’ll have nothing to compare it to. It’ll just be a number. Where could I go to determine the ‘optimal’ fuel pressure? I remember seeing a video about fuel pressure, but all manufacturers are different, no?
Nevermind, a quick Google search works wonders. Not sure how accurate the statement is but its a start.

I did try to give the tank a bang with my hand. Probably not enough force right? Interesting proposal, going to give it a shot next time.
Yes I read the whole part about honda manual transmissions. I do use the Honda MTF. I did buy the car used so I can only imagine how the previous owner’s driving habits were like.
How much play is acceptable? Do you think this could contribute to lousy reverse engagement?

Interesting..link works for me. I’ll re-try it.
I feel like it isn’t the clutch for a few reasons. I do not get any grinds going into reverse. I’ve also gotten the tip to release the clutch a hair while applying force into the reverse gate. I get a grind then.
Also I am starting to get the typical bearing noise for honda manual transmissions. That doesn’t start until I am almost two inches or something off the ground.
The linkage that I am having the play in I read that it is a stabilizer rod.
again, not my car, not my picture but its that bushing that I am seeing play in

Usually that feeling is at a dead stop. I rarely put it in first if I am rolling.
Also I believe the hydraulics to be alright as well.
I like the link, lots of information.
What about that linkage though? That supposed to have some slop in it?
This isn’t my picture or car but it is this linkage.
